Orange is the New Black
I hate to say it, but summer is coming to an end.
I hate to say it, but summer is coming to an end. And the best season of all has arrived: fall! It’s time for cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes, and some serious good looks for your hair. Luckily for you, I have a few ideas about what kind of colors and styles will be perfect for this season.
Orange is a fantastic color in general and looks great on everyone—it’s also a popular autumnal hue! If you want an orangey look that won’t make your friends think you’re going red or ginger (though the latter is another fun option), try highlights with golden undertones instead of orangey ones.
But don’t worry—the end of summer doesn’t mean the end of fun hair colors.
But don’t worry—the end of summer doesn’t mean the end of fun hair colors. Fall is a great time to experiment with different shades, like copper and red. These shades look great with fall clothing and last longer than summer shades. They’re also easier to maintain, which makes them perfect for busy women who want to keep their color but don’t want to spend hours in the salon or risk damaging their hair by using harsh chemicals at home. And finally, these hues work well on darker skin tones—so you can feel confident about your new look no matter what your complexion!
So go ahead: get inspired by this season’s hottest trends and go for it! You’ll be glad you did when people compliment your gorgeous new hairstyle!
The best part about fall is all the rich hues you get to play with!
Fall is the perfect time to play with rich hues. You can go with a more natural look or something more dramatic, depending on your mood and what you’re wearing. Here are some of my favorite fall shades:
- Chestnut brown
- Dark gold (the color of pumpkin spice lattes)
- Deep burgundy/wine red (this one will be huge this year!)
Even if you’re not a fan of wearing orange or brown, you can still get in on the benefits of adding some autumnal tones to your strands.
Even if you’re not a fan of wearing orange or brown, you can still get in on the benefits of adding some autumnal tones to your strands. In fact, we think it’s an especially good idea for brunettes to switch things up a bit this season. The key is to use a warm chocolate brown color that isn’t ashy or muddy—a great base for highlights and lowlights.#ENDWRITE
As temperatures start dropping, so should your hair color.
It’s officially fall, and if you’re anything like me, you’re already thinking about the changing of the seasons. And with that comes a change in your hair color.
It can be hard to let go of summer beauty trends—we all love bold lips and tousled waves—but as temperatures start dropping, so should your hair color. If you want to look polished for fall, try lightening up for a more natural tone that doesn’t clash with your wardrobe or skin tone. Don’t worry; we’ve got some tips on how to do it!
Since our skin tones naturally lighten as we stop spending time out in the sun, it makes sense that we should also lose a few shades when it comes to our locks.
It’s a good time to transition from summery brights into more natural-looking shades. As the days get shorter, our skin tones lighten (and so do we). That means our hair color changes with the seasons as well—and we should also lose a few shades when it comes to our locks.
The best way to get those fall feels is by making a change in your hair color! For example, if you have naturally dark brown hair and want something that’s not too different from what you’ve got now but will give you an extra boost of warmth, try going with chestnut brown or dark chocolate brown instead of jet-black or espresso.
One great way to do this is by transitioning from summery brights into more natural-looking shades.
One great way to do this is by transitioning from summery brights into more natural-looking shades. When you’re ready for a change, try using a semi-permanent color instead of going all the way to your natural color. This will leave your hair looking more like it did pre-summer, but with a hint of fall color. Another option is using a temporary rinse in between appointments at the salon. The best thing about this method is that it allows you to experiment with different shades without committing fully or damaging your locks or wallet!
In order to keep your hair looking healthy and shiny as possible throughout these months, we recommend avoiding over processing it (you don’t have to bleach every strand!) and using a leave-in conditioner after washing your strands. Also avoid washing them everyday and use shampoos and conditioners formulated specifically for colored treated hair; this will help prevent fading when used regularly!
Check out these gorgeous beauty looks for the season ahead.
This season, it’s all about maintaining your base color and highlights. But rather than using cool ash or beige tones, we’re keeping our hair super warm with golden and honey hues. Here are some ideas for how you can switch up your look with these gorgeous fall shades:
- Softly curled strands like this fashionista’s are perfect for the season ahead. To achieve her bouncy curls, use a heat protector before applying curling iron, comb through a small amount of styling product (we love Kérastase Elixir Ultime), then wrap sections loosely around the barrel. Once done curling, smooth with fingers or brush out to create waves instead of frizziness.
- For those who want to keep their own natural texture but want to add some body at the same time, try gently teasing sections near your face—this will give you instant volume without weighing down fine hair!
If you’re looking for something more subtle than a full-on redhead, consider this beautiful lightened brown color with equally gorgeous blonde highlights.

The key here is keeping your base color and highlights super warm – sticking mostly to golden and honey shades rather than cool ash or beige tones.
If you’re going from a lighter shade to a darker one, it’s important to keep your base color and highlights super warm – sticking mostly to golden and honey shades rather than cool ash or beige tones. This will keep the look cohesive and prevent your hair from looking dull. It will also make for an easier transition as you go darker.
Switching to a darker shade for fall is a great way to renew your look without having to commit too much time or money on upkeep (you can always go back). If you’re going from light blonde hair, however, it may take some effort on your part! You should also be prepared for some upkeep with touch-ups every six weeks or so if necessary – don’t let this discourage you though! The results are worth it 🙂
This fashionista is totally rocking it with her sleek center part and bouncy curls!
This blonde fashionista is totally rocking it with her sleek center part and bouncy curls! The roots are dark, but the ends are light. That’s because she’s wearing a box dye job, which means that the darker color is applied at the base of your hair shaft and fades out as it nears your ends. The result? A subtle look that allows you to be creative with how much contrast you want from root to tip (and even within each strand). You can also try a balayage or ombre style—the former is a French technique where highlights are painted on individually for each strand of hair; it looks especially pretty when paired with long locks like this gal’s.
The center parting is another fun aspect of this look: it keeps all those loose waves in check so they don’t fall into disarray as easily over time (or during bad weather!). If you don’t have enough length in front for a center part, try any other style that allows for some movement—say a side part or deep side-swept bangs—and then pull out some strands around your face to frame it nicely while keeping everything smooth behind them.”
